Hawes Has Had Charge of All Outdoor Spectacles Although many will view the Pasadena junior college-Muir Tech commencement exercises for the first time this year, others will re¬ call the 10 previous years when this spectacle has been portrayed in the Rose Bowl. Before the genesis of the sta¬ dium panorama, graduation was first performed in the local aud¬ itorium and later, during the years 1920, '21, and ’22, at Tournament Park. All the out-door programs have been and are now under the direction of Miss Ida E. Hawes, dean of guidance. Pictures Garden The first impressive ceremony occurring in the Rose Bowl in 1923 pictured a garden scene, and the following year Madame Schuman- Heink, well-known contralto, ap¬ peared on a Dutch theme program. To celebrate the close of Pasa¬ dena’s fiftieth school year, the 1925 educational season terminat¬ ed with a suitable performance, while the next year’s graduation related in pageant form the hist¬ ory of the flag, 150 years after the first American standard was made by Betsy Ross. Panoramas “Springtime and Youth” with the assistance of the Los Angeles Women’s Symphony Orchestra; “America’s Opportunity,” a peace progress celebration of the first Armistice, with Donald Novis sing¬ ing; and “Broader Patriotism” are the successive spectacles which pass before the mind. Using Charles Wakefield Cad- man’s music almost entirely, “Dreams of Youth” was the port¬ rayal in honor of the outgoing students at the end of the 1930 school year. But a multitude will remember last year’s “Trail Makers,” de¬ picting the four stages of life, childhood, youth, maturity, and old age, will look forward to “World Friendship” to be staged this year, and anticipate the pag¬ eants to come in the future. DELTA PSI Outstanding events of Delta Psi Omega for the past year have been a one-act play contest, which was won by Dorothy Waterhouse with “Green Jade,” and the enter¬ taining of the Southern California Federation of drama students.

Artists И in High Honors What talisman does the art department use to get two of everything? When Joe Wallace and James Sherman both won scholarships to the Art Center school, they were only carrying out the ex¬ ample set by the others. John Ehlen and Archie Wedemeyer are vice-president of the Paci¬ fic Arts association and presi¬ dent of thia Art Teachers asso¬ ciation of Southern California, respectively. Also Vardon Going won first and second places in the photo¬ graphic composition class con¬ test, Harlow Parker and King Brock captured two wins in the Christmas poster competition, and Frances Baxter had two oil paintings displayed down town last fall. CARDS FINISH IN 2ND SPOT — ♦ — San Diego, Alhambra Losses Break Win Column of Lower Division Not contented with a win over the Cardinals the season before, when they defeated the locals to take the Coast league slugging title, the knights of the Gray Cas¬ tle returned with one of the best teams ever seen in the prep loop and routed the Bulldogs’ chance for a title. Coach Dunn’s men got no farther than second in the final tabulation. Despite the setback of losing their first league contest, the Bull¬ dogs staged a classy comeback and scalped the Fullerton Indians, 5-3. The stick work of Summers and Ross in this game was one of the highlights. Scoring Orgy The next game was a wild orgy of swat, both teams scoring in rapid succession. After nine in¬ nings, in which home runs were combined with two and three-bag hits, the Cardinals won the en¬ counter, 15 to 8. A single, double, and triple off the bat of Lloyd Summers paved the way to a victory over the Glendale Dynamiters. Try as they might, the Blasters were only able to touch Jake Means for four hits. In addition to his remarkable pitching, Means cracked out a hit in the seventh inning, which might have gone for four bags had it not hit the football goalpost in left center field. Cards Win Long Beach, long rival of the red and white, was next in line for the Bulldogs. After nine innings of real ball playing the local squad won the contest, 3-0. Alhambra reached into its bag of tricks in the following encoun¬ ter and pulled out 10 runs to nose out the Dunnmen, 10 to 8. This game put the cap on lower division activities for the year. Dean Issues Transcript Ultimatum Hopeful Entrants Must Suffer Soon To enter U. S. C., all students must suffer through the aptitude test next Satrday afternoon on the Trojan campus, tomorrow being the last chance to get admission permits and to pay the 3-dollar fee required. Those who succeed in passing the ordeal will be entertained from September 6 to 13, the week dedicated to incoming freshmen. Aspiring engineers will welcome the news that Cal Tech entrance) examinations have been postponed until next fall when students will be tested in chemistry and physics September 9 and in math and) English the following day. “Not before the office can check, file, and enter on permanent re¬ cords the 26,000 grade slips of the graduates will transcripts be sent to other schools,” John A. Ander¬ son, dean of records, revealed. The demand for transfers is so great this year that reports can not possibly be mailed until the early days of July, he continued, but if students are impatient, they should take their report cards to window one of the records office where copies can be made and in¬ formation be completed sooner. Mr. Anderson added the consol¬ ing thought that colleges under¬ stand the problems of secondary schools and do not expect records early. E.C. Lueder’s Class Makes Translation —f — Delving into large volumes and pouring over mysterious books, medical students of E. C. Lueder’s advance course in scientific German have trans¬ lated completely a monograph on symbiosis, or communal life in the animal kingdom, written by Professor O. Hertwig, prom- . inent German zoologist of the University of Jena. Student-aides-de-camp who par¬ ticipated in this project are: Ar¬ nold Bode, Margaret Dalton, Nancy Dickinson, Sydney K. Edwards, Elizabeth Hobson, Stanley Lewis, Jackson Norwood, Lewis Peters, and Philander Powers. Besides being accepted as a class activity, this scientific translation may prove a valu¬ able aid to R. R. Hays, of the biology department, who is pre¬ paring a research article on hermit crabs and other marine life. The publication is a reprint of a lecture read by Dr. Hertwig at the fifty-sixth meeting of German natural scientist^ and surgeons at Freiburg. - « - Opportunity Open To Paint Daubers Recognizing the talent here, art schools are offering opportunities for Jaysee painters, according to John H. Ehlen, art insructor. Pasadena Academy of Fine Aids at . Stickney Memorial School of Art will give a one year training to a P. J. C. student, while another part time award is open to Bull¬ dog artists. Art Center School in Los An¬ geles has announced its special summer course. GRADS ELBOW FOR ‘CAMPUS’ Shove Lowly Under-classmen To One Side in Annual Scramble To make the 1932 Campus a visual as well as a modern literary achievement has been (he objective of its creators. During the year the staff and their advisers have worked many school hours as well as Saturdays and vacations in or¬ der to realize this ideal. That this has been achieved is well displayed in the book. — Archie Wedemyer, art de¬ partment head. Lordly Seniors and Sophomores elbowed and shoved lowly non¬ graduates, Class Day, in a des¬ perate effort to retrieve a new 1932 “Campus” from the scramble. This modem volume, attired in a new cover of black, linen-finished Cabricoid, with a seal in grey and white, contains several new attrac¬ tions which are: the omission of a humor section, the addition of an index of the graduates, and the stress of the more essential activi¬ ties of each department. Adviser Lp&ves Upon the receipt of a leave of absence the second semester, Glenn L. Lembke, first term head, was replaced by Miss Mary O. Sullivan, who undertook this task in addi¬ tion to the art advisership. Mrs. Helen M. Stone, editorial, and Miss Grace Wickham were the other su¬ pervisors. Using a new system of editor¬ ship, there were four students su¬ perintending the volume: Inez Effinger, editor - in - chief ; Fern Hulka, assistant editor; Jack Wor- mell, art editor; and Wesley Daley, business manager. Subordinates Subordinates were: Betsey Mc- Collough, photography; Mildred Dale, seniors; Marcia Hall, sopho¬ mores; Zula Vail, nurses; Marcella Pownell, activities; Virginia Mc¬ Laughlin, women’s sports; Su¬ zanne Kellog, music.

IMPROMPTU FINAL EXAM HALTS WORKOUT ON ATHLETIC FIELD — ■ 4 - Coach Calls Fellows Together for Gabfest; Blame Rushing Tactics and ‘ Hot-cha ’ Magazines for Sport Downfall - + - Unsurpassed in method and pui-pose, one of the best final exams ever devised was held one morning- last week on the athletic field. After sending the students of the cinderpath through their paces for a brisk 40-minute workout, the coach called a halt. “Fellows,” he began, “why all this lack of interest in athletics?” His face, tanned to* - - - leather from days of Southern ex¬ posure, a hard-earned testimonial of coaching, helping, demonstrat¬ ing was grim and silent and thoughtful. “It’s the clubs,” someone sug¬ gested, “they rush a big-shot freshie before he knows what the score is and then turn him into a social lion or a tiger lily!” Gone *Hot-cha' "Blame ‘Ballyhoo,’ ” threw in another. The rising sun beamed warm upon the friendly grass. The fellows nodded in mutual un¬ derstanding. “That pansy maga¬ zine’s got everybody thinking they want to stand around the halls like a bunch of hot-chas!” “The sun spots may have some¬ thing to do with it,” offered a brawny theorist, “Every 11.2 years . . . something like the business cycle.” Women’s Fault “What I want to know is this : why do powder puffs park by the curb with their lady pals waiting for the basketball dance to start? Why don’t they go in and watch the game? Worse yet, what do the wimmen see in them sofa dwellers?” “They ought to paint the front porch every period to keep the ‘step sisters’ away!” The bell rang. Why the lack of interest in athletics? What’s the answer? Grad Drops ‘Mrs. ’ to Be One of Gang Because she “wanted to be 'one of the gang’ and ask the same dumb questions they did,” Mrs. Sidney A. Jones, wife of the chief electrical engineer at Mt. Wilson observatory and P. J. C. June graduate, chopped the Mrs. from her name and has been attending school here for the past two years as plain Mary Jones. By so concealing her true status, Mrs. Jones has been able to get the same education as the ordinary student, since she was granted no special dispensations because of her age or the fact that she is the mother of two children. But very evidently Mrs. Jones was not in need of special dispen¬ sation for her scholarship record reads all A’s and B’s with a maj¬ ority of the higher marks. Besides maintaining above-aver¬ age grades, Mrs. Jones has had poems printed in “Litera,” "Schol¬ ar and Clown,” and “First the Blade.” She plans to continue her education at U. C. L. A. Local Team Places Fourth in Contest Placing fourth in the Eighteenth Annual Chemistry Contest, the P. J. C. team came out with a score of 78.2 per cent at U. S. CL on May 21, according to results re¬ ceived recently by G. W. Josten, captain of the team. The highest score made by Bulldog contestants was 87.5 per cent by Florin Atke- son. Manual Arts high school of Los Angeles received first place, while Woodrow Wilson of Long Beach and Long Beach Poly placed sec¬ ond and third. U.D. MEN COP 3 AND LOSE 5 Lack of Returning Lettermen Is Coach Thurman’s Difficulty - ♦ - Showing spots of brilliancy be¬ tween mediocrity, Pasadena’s up¬ per division ball squad played an in-and-out season this past year, winning three games and dropping five. With but two lettermen back, Coach John Thurman was faced with the problem which troubled ' so many Pasadena coaches this year of moulding a championship contender from green material. The Bulldogs were helped consid¬ erably by Lewis Brantley, from the lower division, who was shifted from his usual post in the outfield to shortstop, where he proved ex¬ tremely valuable. Ross Stars Ted Ross, who was elected cap¬ tain in mid-season, proved one of the outstanding outfielders in the conference and was a dependable hitter. In addition to Ross, the other returning letterman was Bill Ramsay, catcher, who was ably backed by Roy Faddis. As “Lefty” Hays went, so went the team. Hays pitched four splen¬ did names, three of which he won. After losing to Glendale in the opener, Hays threw splendid ball against Los Angeles, only to lose 3 to 0. Against Compton he allowed but three hits while the Bulldogs wero garnering two runs to the Tartars' nothing. Only one hit was gath¬ ered off Hays in seven innings by Long Beach and two off Addy as Pasadena dropped the Vikings 9 to 2. However, after a week’s lay-off, the Thurmanmen went into a slump and lost the next three games to Glendale, Los Angeles, and Compton. Regain Form In their last game, the Bulldogs again regained their form to pound Kennelly for seven hits and five runs as Hays was limiting Long Beach to a quintet of safeties and shutting them out without a score. In addition to Brantley in the infield, were found Stanchfield, first base; Gwynne, second, and Stagno, third. Ross was aided in the outfield by McClatchy in cen¬ ter and Williams in right, while Itoyce and Shirar saw much action. Trying Days Face Lizards Vacation spells doom for the lizards of the science depart¬ ment, when all crawling ani¬ mals who have no sumra* homes, must take their ranks in the pickle jars of the: museum room. One of the special attractions of a downtown hardware store will be a cagje of all the live snakes of the school. The man¬ ager has even promised to pre¬ serve the unfortunate reptile's that die, according to Robert P. Hayes, biology teacher. Fish, turtles, and squirrels ape boarded out during vaca¬ tion days but have to come back to school next September.
